		Holyfield only had the energy to fight in brief flurries and with 51-second to go in the round, Rahman nailed him with a classic right hand flush on the jaw.

	Floyd Patterson vs Evander Holyfield - The Cyber Boxing Zone Message Board
		I know many would off the bat say a Holyfield knockout victory, but when you recollect Evander's struggles with Moorer, Stewart, and Bean, all small HWs with none of the combination of speed and power Floyd had, and I think this would be a helluva fight.
		Holyfield wouldn't be able to out-heart Patterson in this one, who went to war with the very durable Chuvalo and Bonavena and came out on top.
		I don't know if Holyfield's father ever boxed but Patterson would surely have to be favored over him in a boxing match considering he was a highly accomplished professional.
